Loved this place.
Loved this place. Photos really don't do it justice, could very happily have stayed longer. Beds were comfy, lots of room and facilities. Easy to catch a bus into York (and really cheap bus tickets too!). Host was very responsive when I contacted ahead of check in. All in all, highly recommended!
